Nerf the sidekick

well yes, btb is still broken, thanks for observing

Youre just bad at the game. Me and a couple other people just got done explaining that the AR doesnt need nerfed. That player said he kept losing to ARs using the sidekick. You are here saying you lose to sidekick. Its a skill issue and nothing more. Stop being a sore loser and practice.

Yes controller. But cmon bruh, your HS accuracy is 23.6 overall… either you’re using all spray/power weapons, or you cant aim. Or both.

If your HS accuracy is less than your normal, something is wrong.

Edit: ive got several frienda who play PC. No complaints about aim. They arenall still 50/60%… Yes im aware of the disparity between controller/mnK with aim assist… no the lack of aim assist does not excuse your poor accuracy (completely)

I use the AR basically exclusively

45

I’ve come across way to many people who can spam all their rounds in a sidekick and just melting people at stupid ranges without missing.

Ah the “your just bad” cop out. Glad to see chubs still using this.

Practice up on them precision weapons. Forreal. Ive been a crticial d##k so far, but you cant complain too much when the stats are there… the pistol absolutely EATS. Ill never say its not strong. but its balanced in terms of distance, bullet drop off, damage, etc.

What other explanation is there? The sidekick is not op. Like I said another player in another post said that he loses to ARs using sidekick. So if the AR is op for one player, and the sidekick is op for another, it is obviously a personal skill issue.

I view it more as a weapon sandbox issue as a whole. We really don’t have many viable options for weapons in this game. There not too many weapons to begin with and a handful are really REALLY bad for 4v4.

So everyone is being killed by a very select set of weapons 95% of the time. There’s not even that many power weapons in my opinion. The AR is a shock to most because it’s very rarely ever been this good. The Sidekick on the other hand is starting to creep into prominence and we have all had to deal with pistols being the go to gun because of them always seeming to being a tad to strong. I don’t think it’s actually “overpowered” in what most say, but it definitely needs its accuracy or RoF reduced SLIGHTLY.

Now THIS… this a reasonable take and explanation instead of:

gun kill me
gun bad
343 fix game

Yes the skill gap issue is a legitimate argument against people saying a gun is bad… if their accuracy is not good – especially HS accuracy – then they wont be good with a precision weapon. They have no right to come and complain. :man_shrugging::man_shrugging:

How do you get your point across? Bring the receipts. Bring the stats. bring some legitimate claims and some sound reasoning. Or maybe just pose the question to the community. Hey, does anyone else feel this way? Dont just say “i die, this is bad”

I’d like a rate of fire reduction, balanced with a tiny bit more power. You shouldn’t have to rapid jam your fire button like you’re having an epileptic seizure to outduel someone with pistols.

did I miss the nerf of the AR? leave the sidekick alone

53

The spam rate should be reduced and make it a 6-shot kill. Done.

How about a lower rate of fire? The Sidekick can fire 360 RPM, which is INSANELY fast if you compare it to for example the Halo 5 magnum that could only fire 150 RPM. This also gives people who can use triggerstops (7 mm clicks) and mouseclicks (1 mm clicks) a huge advantage over people who use a regular controller (12 mm clicks). Which i.m.o. goes against the principle of equal starts.

Make the weapon fire 260 RPM and make it a 6-shot kill. Or 150 RPM and a 5 shot kill. But the latter will make the weapon look more like the Halo 5 magnum but with a shorter range.

260 RPM and 6 shot kill is i.m.o. the best way. It becomes a hybrid middleground between the Sidekick as how it is right now and the H5 magnum, but with a shorter range.

  • No more spamming.
  • Equal starts.

it would become more consistent, and fair. As it is now, randomly, some people can melt you with it and some games it shoots bb’s.

I think the damage range needs a nerf. No reason a pistol beast a BR at long range.

No, end of story…

You can close this topic now, for I have spoken… =]

I made a topic on this as well and there were so many mixed opinions. I personally feel the fire rate should be reduced slightly and nothing else.

sidekick doesn’t need nerfing, aim assist-hacking needs a nerf cause bullets are Wanted curving to your head even though crosshair is on the opposite end of the screen :relaxed:

Is this for real or is the op trolling everyone who claims the ar is a god gun?
